Coach Talk

Team Tadlock
Whoa, Team Tadlock, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 59.75 points, you also jumped up from fourth place to second in the league standings!
SECFOR Sixers
Listen, SECFOR Sixers, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! You know, now that I think about it... maybe asking for an additional 60 points is a little excessive.
